New Holland, IL
New Holland wildfire risk explained
USFS scores New Holland at the 1st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 230 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks New Holland at the 1st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
New Holland's building exposure, zone by zone
New Holland rates 96.5% Minimal exposure against just 3.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 230 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
